Videos in Class Monday
The videos we watched in class this past Monday really drew my interest. I've never seen ESL, PSL, or SEE applied so specifically before. I'm sure I present my own version of PSL on a daily basis but I do try my best to use as much ASL as possible. However, After learning ASL it seemed so much easier to me to sign in ASL rather than one of the other versions of sign language. It seemed like ESL and SEE took so much more time to relay an idea/thought/message compared to ASL. However, I'm sure if I learned ESL first, it may be easier to me than ASL. Another thing I noticed was that the ESL and SEE did not convey as much meaning as ASL and PSL. Things were interpreted very literally based on what words were used. I think that if I were to watch those videos without any audio or captions, I would really struggle to understand based on my lack of knowledge in those forms of sign language.

I agree with you! Class was very interesting and I enjoyed seeing all variations of signing. I was thoroughly interested in the YouTube videos. They caught my attention and I've even watched them over again outside of class!
ReplyDeleteI agree i really like hands on stuff cause it makes it easier for me to learn. I really enjoyed class last week and hope we have classes more like it.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed the videos as a visual helps me understand. In ASL 202 we watched a person reading a book and it was the same kind of thing where they show the comparisons.
